Customizing your spin wheel: colors, fonts, hub, pointer, and background
Make a spin wheel your own: brand colors, label fonts, center-hub text, pointer style, and a solid or gradient background. A quick guide to every style control and how to use them.
Key Takeaways
- Five style controls live in the Settings tab: custom palette, label font, center hub, pointer, and background.
- A custom palette cycles your own brand colors across the slices — no per-slice editing.
- Label text auto-contrasts against each slice, so even light brand colors stay readable.
- The label fonts use fonts already on your device, so there's nothing to download — and every change saves to your browser.
Out of the box, most online wheels look interchangeable: a stock palette, a plain pointer, a SPIN label in the middle. For a quick decision that's fine. But if you run the same wheel every day in class, or you're putting one in front of customers or a stream audience, a little styling goes a long way — and none of it changes how fairly the wheel picks.
Everything below lives in the Settings tab and previews live, so you can see each change as you make it. Here's what you can adjust and when each one earns its keep.
Custom palette — your brand colors
You've always been able to color individual slices, but matching a brand that way meant editing each one. The custom palette replaces that: add two to six of your own colors once, and the wheel cycles every slice through them automatically. Add or remove a name and the colors simply re-flow. Clear the palette and you're back to the preset themes.
Label font — set the tone
The label font changes the personality of the entries. There are six options — default, rounded, serif, mono, condensed, and casual. A rounded or casual face suits a kids' wheel; a condensed one packs long names into narrow slices; a serif reads a touch more formal. They're built from fonts already on your device, so switching is instant.
Center hub — your word in the middle
The hub is the small circle in the center where 'SPIN' normally sits. You can set your own short text — a team name, a single word like GO — and pick the hub color. If you upload a logo, it takes the hub's place instead; the logo guide covers that.
Pointer and background
Two more controls finish the look. The pointer can be a classic triangle, a sleeker arrow, or a map-style pin, in any color you choose — handy for matching a stream overlay or a slide accent. And the background behind the wheel can be a solid color or a two-color gradient, so the wheel sits inside a themed stage rather than floating on the default panel.
Style your wheel
Open Settings, drop in your colors and font, and make the wheel look like yours.
Customize the Wheel →It all saves automatically
Styling is a one-time setup. Every choice — palette, font, hub, pointer, background — persists in your browser, so when you reopen the wheel it looks exactly as you left it. Nothing is uploaded and there's no account; the settings live on your device. Pair these with a custom winner message or a logo and the whole experience feels deliberately yours.
Frequently asked questions
- Where are the customization options?
- All in the Settings tab in the sidebar: Custom palette, Label font, Center hub, Pointer, and Background. Each one previews live as you change it.
- Will custom colors make my labels hard to read?
- No. The label color adapts per slice — dark slices get white text, light slices get dark text — so even pale brand colors stay legible without any manual tweaking.
- Do my style choices save between visits?
- Yes. Everything persists in your browser's local storage, so the wheel looks exactly as you left it next time. Nothing is uploaded and there's no account.
- Do custom fonts slow the wheel down?
- No — the fonts are drawn from families already installed on your device, so there are no web fonts to download and nothing to wait for.
